Flemish Music Heritage... - Jozef De Beenhouwer - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

The Flemish Music Heritage series is a journey of discovery, reviving remarkable pieces of musical heritage. Forgotten scores are brought to light, and familiar compositions are given a fresh perspective. In close collaboration with the Study Centre for Flemish Music, the recordings are founded on intensive research in libraries and archives and meticulously prepared score editions.​

The works, expertly selected by connoisseurs, are performed by valued musicians and ensembles who passionately restore neglected and forgotten composers to the recognition they deserve. With these vibrant composer monographs, Antarctica Records aims to broaden horizons and enrich the repertoire with rediscovered treasures from the past.

This third volume of the Flemish Music Heritage series focuses on piano works by Joseph Ryelandt (1870–1965). Spanning nearly five decades of his creative output, the recording features five piano works—including two early sonatas, the expressive Six Préludes, and two later works that highlight Ryelandt’s evolution toward a more transparent, neoclassical style. Performed by Jozef De Beenhouwer, who has championed Ryelandt’s music for decades, the album sheds light on a versatile and refined voice in Belgian musical history.
